adorn the drawing room, study and library, dining room,
master suite and six other bedroom suites. The South Wing
has four more bedroom suites and a second kitchen, and
the North Wing accommodates a gym, a perfectly elegant
indoor swimming pool, and two more bedrooms.
Decorative but not overly so, Lyons Demesne is designed
in the style of Directoire, a Neoclassical-inspired
architecture of post-Revolution France that is a rarity in
Ireland. Though not elaborate by any means, the Lyons estate
certainly does not turn its nose up to classical art, so much
so that it's hard to believe a fourth shipload from Italy was
intended to arrive upon Valentine Lawless' request, its fate
ending when it sunk mere miles away near Wicklow. Still,
the three columns from the ruins of the Golden House of
Nero in Rome stand prominently in the portico.
The potential owner of this property is an art lover but also
an avid outdoorsman. The Lyons Demesne grounds place
